The fact that, as ADL found, over 800 journalists have suffered anti-Semitic attacks via Twitter since the election, should, as a journalist, set some warning bells off in you. As ADL also reported, there is one anti-Semitic assault reported in America every week and at least two anti-Jewish incidents on average every single day, not counting online harassment. I see that as a major problem and something that needs to be addressed, not hand-waved away. Whether antisemitism is increasing or decreasing is besides the point, anyway; the fact is, anti-Jewish attacks still occur at an alarming rate and any attempt at diminishing their impact on America only serves to complicate the real issue: antisemitism, like Islamophobia, is a problem in America which needs to be acknowledged and fought against at every turn.

One clap, two clap, three clap, forty?

By clapping more or less, you can signal to us which stories really stand out.
